Washington’s Chase Young Says They’re Following Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality

Washington Football Team have been a surprise package this season. While they haven’t had a remarkable season by any stretch of the imagination, they have been the giant slayers.

During the NFL season, they’ve had victories over the Eagles, twice over the Cowboys, the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers, and, most recently, the San Francisco 49ers. Now, Chase Young says they are motivated to win more.

Chase Young of the Washington Football Team spoke to the press about their season and the team’s ambitions. He said that the they are following the lead of late NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and channeling their ‘Mamba Mentality’.

“We’re not done yet. I like to think, ‘What would Kobe [Bryant] do?’ He wouldn’t be smiling. He’d put his head down and keep working until he achieved what he wanted to achieve. … That’s the vibe of the team right now. We’re not satisfied.”

Clearly, Washington want to make the playoffs this year. They currently have a 6-7 record and need to win their remaining games to stand a chance at playoff contention.

Chase Young says Washington are channeling Kobe

Washington have been significantly inconsistent this year. They have had good performances and surprise victories, but have also lost games which they could have handily won. For them, they need to find more consistency if they want to be able to reach the NFL Playoffs.

However, from Young’s comments, it appears as though the team is motivated for the final run of games. A playoff spot is coveted this season, with very few teams looking like solid contenders.

But Washington can take advantage of this strange NFL season if they are able to make a rally towards their last few games in the regular season.

For Washington, they have no option but to find consistency in order to achieve their goal of making the Playoffs. If they can channel their performances from their biggest upset wins this season, they stand a genuine chance to make a solid playoff run. But their problems don’t end when they reach the Playoffs.

If they make the post-season, they will need to continue their good performances if they want to make it far. As it stands, they will miss the Playoffs, unless they somehow turn the tables on their form.
